When Is an Appeal Appropriate?

Many people are required to undergo a security clearance in order to gain access to classified or secret information, including military members, law enforcement, federal employees, and government contractors.

There are several factors that may raise a red flag in the process, such as:

While some national security denials are back and white and cannot be argued, others fall into a gray zone. The Supreme Court has ruled that when it is not clear as to whether a person is fit for clearance, access must be denied. Because the government defaults to security clearance denials when it is not clear whether a person is fit for clearance, an appeal may be appropriate for someone who feels they have been denied out of default.

The Appeals Process Is Complicated–Our Attorney Can Help

The security clearance appeals process is much more complicated and involved than the criminal or civil legal appeals process. The government is heavily involved in security clearance appeals, and the process, as a whole, is much more strict than most other legal procedures. Because of the sensitivity involved in these types of cases, the reason for a denial may be difficult to access, making it hard to build a strong and thorough appeals case.
